Former NFL player Burgess Owens won the Republican primary in Utah’s 4th District on Tuesday and he will face off against Rep. Ben McAdams (D) in November. Owens, a frequent Fox News commentator, won with 43.4 percent of the vote with 97 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press, prevailing over three other Republicans, including state Rep. Kim Coleman (R).

I fell for the guy. He spent most of his NFL career during the 70s with the J-E-T-S. I hope he wins get some experience then goes after Willard.

I have watched Burgess Owens’ interviews several times. He certainly appears to be the ‘real’ deal.

It will be great to have Burgess in the House of Representatives sitting next to the likes of Jim Jordan.

Great win Burgess!!!!!!

I was a poll watcher in Colorado's 2nd most conservative county and it was very depressing.

Registered Republicans thought they could change affiliation on election day and when told that deadline passed June 1st, opted not to vote at all.

Yes, its a small sample size but it explains why Dems returned more ballots than Republicans WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN THIS COUNTY!!!!

That could be great news.

Operation Chaos is working!

Dream on....

The chaos is real, there was no "operation" in DougCo, as I'm a District Capt. and would have heard about it.

Dems are motivated, Conservatives are not.
